Clay soil pipe joints
Aug 17th, 2005, 10:37pm
 
Got to lay a soil pipe for an outside bog.

Grade 2 listed cotage....the customer has decided she wants it run in clay pipe to make it more authentic!!

I did expain it would be buried!!!

She's bought some second hand pipe already. How do i make the joints water/p*ss/turd proof?

Perhaps you could slip some plastic pipe down the inside of the clay? Just to keep it looking authentic.
